CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming'part of Letters Patent No. 271,818, dated February 6, 1883.

Application filed April 24, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom tt may concern Be it known that I, STANLEY E. DUNN, of Herrick Oentre.in the county of Susquehanna and State of Pennsylvania, have invented anew and Improved Churn, of which the followiug is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to improvements in churns; and it consists in the combination of a spring with a strainer and churn-body; and italso consists in the combination,with achu-rnbody journaled at its opposite corners and provided with adischarge-opening in one corner, of a strainer provided with a spring and arranged in the angle between the dischargeopening and the center ot'the body, as hereinafter fully described. Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, formin g a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of a churn having my improvement applied. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view on line wrrof Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the strainer.

A represents the churn-body, consisting of,

a rectangular box provided with journal at at opposite. corners, and B the frame in which the box isjournaleda Thejournals a may be attached to the angles of the boX in any improved way; but I prefer to use the an gle-plates b, and to one of the journals 1 apply a crank, c, for turning the at its upper end.

The cover 6 may be provided with a glass or other transparent plate, It, for convenience of observing the process of the work, and may be made to fit tightly by a packing-ring, i.

O is a strainer, provided with the spring j The strainer can be made of any suitable material, and is to be placed upright in the angle of the box, as represented as to cut the butter off from the said angle, out

of which the buttermilk discharges through the openingf, and thus prevent the escape or the butter with the milk. The strainer is to be inserted through the opening (1, and will be held in position by the spring j bearing against the inner surface of the upper side of this box. I

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

l. The combination of sprin g j with strainer O and ehurnbody A, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with the churn-body A, jou'rnaled atits opposite corners, and provided with the discharge-openingf, arranged in one STANLEY E. DUNN.
